| Commentary | "... he let go so heartly that he had to hold his sides with both hands...".
After the discovery of the fulling mills, Sancho begins to laugh aloud; don Quixote, mounted on Rocinante, observes him. Remarkable figures; notice the expression of Sancho and the figure of don Quixote. Jiménez Aranda's drawing skill is masterly; remarkable use of light and shadow with impressionist effects; notice the landscape. |
| Notes | 1 – Reproduction of the original sketch (Chinese ink and gouache white). Jiménez Aranda meant to paint a more-finished drawing after this sketch using natural sceneries and real models, but he died before completing the project. |
